& just why are we assuming the hosts have seen (or must see) all the movies for which they read the intros anyway?
Unless they're giving personal opinions as to content or quality.(like Bob & Ben's Picks)
Though it bothers me more when "guest programmers" pick films with little knowledge of, or reasons for their selections (Cloris Leachman being most glaring example), just for a little air time to plug their latest $ venture (book, tv show, movie, etc.)
-
& in some circles there are those that feel not all members of the Academy view all the films for which they vote

hey, I hate folks who correct people around here, but think you mean Fredric March & Betty Field from "TTW"
This is one of my fav goofy Nazi flicks too & ain't Skippy a hoot as the little psycho?

Wow. I am truly honored. I don't know what to say (and Lydecker is never without something to say) except to say thanks!
Thanks to everyone who produced such incredible schedules, thanks to sanfins for creating a fun Challenge and hosting it so well and thanks to the folks who were kind enough to vote for my schedule. Actually, when you come right down to it, the real credit goes to Roland Young, Lloyd Nolan and Addison DeWitt, fan favorites all. Not to mention, Bela Lugosi and that Brooklyn Gorilla.
I would hope that everyone gives me some guidance about when they would like Challenge #27 to begin. Sooner, later or somewhere in between?
Again, many thanks to you all.
Lydecker
CONGRATS! to Lydecker

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Akira Kurosawa. Toshiro Mifune, Isuzu Yamada, Takashi Shimura, Minoru Chiaki.
"Graphic, powerful adaptation of Macbeth in a samurai setting. Gripping finale, with Taketoki Washizu (the Macbeth character, masterfully played by Mifune) attacked by arrows."

12:00 AM88 minsilentTrail of '98, The (1928)Dir: Clarence Brown Cast: Dolores Del Rio , Ralph Forbes , Karl Dane .San Francisco boys risk their lives to scout gold in the Klondike.
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Clarence Brown. Dolores Del Rio, Ralph Forbes, Karl Dane, Harry Carey, Tully Marshall, George Cooper, Russell Simpson, Emily Fitzroy.
"Celebrated silent epic charting the effects of gold fever on various characters who leave home and embark on a grueling trek to Alaska during the Klondike gold rush of 1898. You can practically feel the bitter wind and freezing snow in this entertaining "Northern Western,'' with a vivid you-are-there quality and several spectacular scenes."

WAG "Black Moon" 1975?

I'm sorry to say, CaveGirl, that I have not seen The Housemaid, so am in no position to discuss it with you here.
However, I'd like to thank you for bringing it to our (by "our" I mean everyone who reads these threads, I was not using the "royal we") attention.
I looked it up, and it sounds pretty darn good.
Maybe
one day my prince will come. I mean, maybe one day TCM will show it again - in the day !sorry you missed the posts in TCM Imports & Premieres threads
--"late Sun., 7-6 on TCM Imports
2:00 am ET111 mincrimeHousemaid, The (1960)Drama ensues when a married music teacher hires a young maid to take care of the house.
Dir: Kim Ki-Young Cast: Lee Eun-Sim , Kim Jin-Kyu , Ju Jeung-Ryu .
"...this film jolted audiences with its harrowing, incredibly lurid depiction of a household torn apart when a couple (a music teacher and seamstress) bring in a new housemaid whose pathology has deadly, permanent consequences"
-
Quite a riveting film, wasn't it? Pretty Hitchcockian (never sure which way it was headed) & excellent performances by everyone
-
Nice idea for a thread
(tried just 'liking', but seems I've reached my 'quota of positive votes' for the day)
What's up with that QUOTA anyway?? Just how many daily LIKES are allowed??
And why the limit anyway???
-
Pollyanna ?
-
anyone catch The Housemaid ?
an excellent, & truly frightening Korean film
(subtracting the lame, tacked-on pseudo moralistic ending)

9:45 pm ET69 mincomedyStep Lively, Jeeves! (1937)Dir: Eugene Forde Cast: Arthur Treacher , Patricia Ellis , Robert Kent .A British butler goes to America duped by mobsters into believing he is the heir to a fortune.
LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:
D: Eugene Forde. Arthur Treacher, Patricia Ellis, Robert Kent, Alan Dinehart, George Givot, Franklin Pangborn. "Treacher is in top form as P. G. Wodehouse's droll English valet, who comes to America and gets mixed up with gangsters when two con men convince him he's Sir Francis Drake's missing heir. Amusing, if over-plotted, follow-up to THANK YOU, JEEVES!, though not based on any Wodehouse story."

got another one, metz
your turn......
-
no expert, but I'd have to assume the online schedule to be the most updated and accurate (at least of this date) so I'm assuming it'll be "Throne of Blood"
Too bad, was looking forward to ".....Frenchwoman", as I've never seen it before

try The Shanghai Gesture (1941) w/Walter Huston
